Some birds fly south Some birds stay at home Some birds flock together Some birds fly alone There's been red headed, blond feathered, long legged birds I've come to know And some have flown Then there's those hell of a time birds And just for tonight birds Bring em' pretty flowers and payed for by the hour No I'm not one for praying but there's one bird I'm waiting on She's a strange bird Strange bird Somewhere up higher
She's singing on a wire for me Yes I've even hummed along Played the field and even played the fool Oh but somewhere all alone there's a bird that sings my song She's wild and lonesome and blue She's a strange bird Strange bird Somewhere up higher She's singing on a wire for me And she sings She's a strange bird Strange bird Somewhere up higher She's singing like a choir Pretty on a wire for me
